Relationships and the quality of life

Experiencing joy, contentment and good health in life are closely connected to the quality of our relationships with others. As children and later as adults it is through the power of closeness and trust that an experience of safety, faith and love grows, allowing confidence, worthiness and creativity take their place in our lives. When these qualities are lacking, we can be exposed to feelings of sadness, loneliness, inadequacy and even fear.

When love fades or is shaken................

A romantic relationship can be a souce of both happiness, personal enrichment and growth. Whenwe begin to experience difficulties in our relationship however, we often start having negative and critical thoughts and feelings both about ourselves and about each other. When we feel that our needs for comfort, safety and intimacy are not being met we can feel lonely, sad, angry, apathetic and frustrated. We become unable to think clearly can act rashly and can become trapped into inflexible and destructive patterns of interaction. This may start to make us doubt......​If you recognize this happening, it is a good idea to seek help to uncover and acknowledge the unmet attachment needs lying behind these problems. It is in fact possible to invite each other into a new kind of dialogue that can open for a new experience of your relationship focusing on understanding, appreciation and respect for each other. Love can be rekindled and can grow! My work with couples and relationships springs from Emotionally Focused Therapy.
